Abstract

en_US This is an attractive little bookwith a red leather cover embossed with a monument on which sits a lion's head. The book has a soft spine and gilt pages. It is entirely in Gothic script. The twenty half-page illustrations from Grandville are well executed. There is a T of C at the front. Besides, 96 lists all the authors and the pages on which their respective fables appear. The only names that are somewhat surprising might be those of Wilhelm Busch, Jan Lemanski, Arthur Schopenhauer, and Heinrich Seidel. Except for La Fontaine, the list is all ancient and German. Florian, for example, does not appear here. Busch's Der Volle Sack (57) is a delightful conversation between a sack and some grain. Lemanski's FC (50) features a crow who has learned from experience and tells the fox to get beyond his naivete. Schopenhauer offers Die Stachelschweine (61), in which porcupines on a cold day huddled together for warmth but then found that they were pricking each other and so moved away. Soon they approached again, and then again distanced themselves. In the end they found the middle distance in which they could best survive. And they called this distance politeness and fine morals. Seidel has Der Zeisig (65, a small finch). The finch sings; when another bird complains, the finch says that he will sing with the voice God gave him and that those who do not like it can go elsewhere.
